As a muslim man in America, I find the fact that women cover very appealing. It shows respect for themselves and a desire to be obedient to Allah, which is what I am striving for. Will you really care about what everyone else thinks on the Day of Judgement? I can already answer that. No. None of us will. We will all only care about Allah's Judgement. Please, ukhti, remember that this life is like a dream compared to the next one. When we die, everything will be so clear. At that moment we will either be satisfied with our actions or appalled with ourselves. When you dream at night it seems to real. After you wake up, the reality of it all starts to fade immediately. By the end of the day, we barely remember what they are about at all. This is a Blessed sign from Allah to show us what this life truly amounts to. Alhamdulillah, I cannot change your mind. It is all up to you and Allah. But you will never get me to believe that women objectifing themselves is a positive thing. Jazaki Allah for this dialogue, my sister.
